<h1>About us</h1>
<p>
  Watoto Wa Baraka manages an orphanage north of Nairobi, near a town called Makuyu. Here we house the neediest orphans and provide them with basic physical, social and spiritual care. Orphans receive regular meals, attend school and receive care
</p>
<p>
  Most of our volunteer programs are based from the orphanage and involve work such as construction, childcare, fieldwork and teaching.
